Uses: TheFigure 8 Bend, or Flemish Bend (ABOK # 1411, p 258.) provides a safe, and simple way to join two ropes. It is reasonably easy to remember, tie, and check.

Warning: For the Animation, the ends were left short. For critical loads, e.g., when Climbing, the ends must be left much longer.

Safety: For critical loads, e.g., yourself (!), the Figure 8 Bend, should not be used with ropes that differ much in size and for safety the ends should be longer. Finally, for real security, each end should be tied in a double overhand stopper knot around the other standing end as shown here.

Final Dressing: To ensure that the knot is tied correctly, it is sensible to tie the Figure 8 Bend in the “Flat” form shown. However, for taking a load, this knot should be carefully dressed so that the two outermost turns are brought in snug against the ropes they enclose – as a result the turns then finish on the other side of the turns they accompany. Dressed this way the knot withstands a load better.

Pros and Cons: The advantage of Figure 8 Bend is that even after considerable strain it remains relatively easy to undo.

Inspection: Ensure that there are two strands beside each other at each part of the knot. Dress the Figure 8 Bend as described above. Then, pull it and observe that it tightens neatly and symmetrically.

Most Popular Knots
Bowline Knot - secure loop in the end of a piece of rope
The Bowline Knot makes a reasonably secure loop in the end of a piece of rope. It has many uses such as to fasten a mooring line to a ring or a post.
Clove Hitch - Rope End Method - used for stage scenery or mooring buoy
The Clove Hitch can be used for a temporary hold, e.g., stage scenery or mooring buoy. It does have two giant faults: it slips and can also bind. It should be deeply distrusted when used by itself.
Alpine Butterfly Loop - Secure loop in middle of a rope
The Alpine Butterfly Loop provides a secure loop in the middle of a piece of rope. Load can be safely applied: from the loop to either end of the rope; between the two ends with the loop hanging free; or to the loop with the load spread between the two ends.
Figure 8 Knot - stopper knot
The Figure 8 Knot provides a quick and convenient stopper knot to prevent a line sliding out of sight, e.g., up inside the mast.
Double Fisherman's Bend Knot - joins two ropes
The Double Fisherman's or Grapevine Bend consists of two strangle knots (like double overhand knots) each tied round the other standing end.
Square Knot - Simple way to join two ropes
The Square Knot (Reef Knot) is usually learned when we tie our shoelaces. Admittedly it is usually a bow that we tie - but the underlying knot is a Square Knot.
